About Jason De Puy
Drag Race fans know him as Salina EsTitties; Big Brother viewers are meeting Jason De Puy. The West Hollywood drag performer, 35, is one of the 14 original houseguests on Big Brother 28, CBS's 'Time Trip'-themed season that premiered July 9, 2026 — and he's playing the game out of drag, under his own name.
De Puy was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. His mother, who is of Honduran descent, immigrated to the United States from Mexico at age 17, a heritage that has shaped his drag artistry and public persona. As Salina EsTitties, he broke out on season 15 of RuPaul's Drag Race in 2023, winning fans over with his humor and heart.
The Big Brother casting came hot on the heels of another TV run. In April 2026, Salina EsTitties was announced for RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 11, competing in the second bracket against queens including Crystal Methyd and Silky Nutmeg Ganache before an episode-six elimination some fans called a robbery, per PinkNews. Just months later, De Puy walked into the Big Brother house.
At 35, he's the second-oldest of the season's new players, behind 57-year-old LaTrice. He made an early mark in the premiere by winning his heat in the 'Time Trip'-themed competition, though the first Head of Household went to surprise entrant Dee Valladares in a returnee-only twist. Two fandoms are now watching at once: Drag Race viewers following Salina's next chapter, and Big Brother fans getting to know Jason.
